Agata Waszkiewicz, Metagames
Popular culture responded to the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s with Strange Days (1995), ExistenZ (1999), and, most famously, The Matrix (1999).All three movies warned their viewers about technology-dependent alternative reality which, at the moment of early experiments with VR, seemed just behind the corner.Time has passed, the emergence of AI marked yet another pivotal point in humanity's experiments with technology, shedding new light on sp…
Can Reading Stories Save the Planet? Narrating the World (Out) of the Poly/Permacrisis
While the majority of contemporary buzzwords are rather specific in focus, the years 2022 and 2023 witnessed the viral rise of two words—“polycrisis” and “permacrisis”—aspiring to represent the post-millennial moment comprehensively, in both its many-sided apocalypticism and unsettling chronicity. The word “polycrisis” focuses on the plurality and interconnectedness of problems contemporary world is facing; “permacrisis,” on the other hand, expre…
The Lost Object of Love? The Mystery of Unperformed Mourning in Marilynne Robinson’s Housekeeping
The article investigates Marilynne Robinson’s debut novel Housekeeping in an attempt to uncover the origin of the book’s melancholy.

The Baroque Rhetoric of Vision and the Wunderkammer
Is it possible for a dead woman to retain her subjectivity within a story narrated by a man who mourns her? Or is she doomed to become nourishment for a literary display of male ego? As argued by Juliana Schiesari in The Gendering of Melancholia, the canon of melancholy is populated by men of letters whose elevation depends on devaluing female experience of loss. This paper applies the neobaroque framework to the analysis of Jeffrey Eugenides’ Th…
Who Has the Right to the Post-Socialist City? Writing Poland as the Other of Marxist Geographical Materialism
The article opens with a thesis that the post-socialist city is not part of the neoliberal world theorized by David Harvey. By way of comparison, the text discusses Paul Giles’s The Global Remapping of American Literature which is a successful endeavor because the history of American novel is abundant in examples that fit Harvey’s model. The fact that small American factory towns that were unable to successfully accomplish deindustrialization are…
